Plains Leopard Frog

There are three types of leopard frog distributed throughout Iowa (the Southern Leopard Frog, the Northern Leopard Frog and the Plains Leopard Frog). There is another species very similar that often is labeled as a leopard frog, the Pickerel Frog.

Today I caught a little Plains Leopard Frog a good distance from the water, which is why I was able to catch him. Here are the best of the pictures I took (after I was able to get him to calm down).
